\nKettle Chips<\/td>\n | One of the first and arguably still one of the best of the premium ranges of crisps to appear on supermarket shelves, Kettle Chips have a superior consistency, crunch and flavour to many conventional crisps.<\/p>\n The vegan-friendly flavours are: Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar, Lightly Salted, Sea Salt & Crushed Black Peppercorns, <\/em>and a recent addition, Vegan Sheese & Red Onion.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nVeg Chips<\/td>\n | Both the Lightly Salted and the Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar flavoured Veg Chips are fine for vegans.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nKettle & More<\/td>\n | None of the Kettle & More flavours are vegan at the time of writing (which should come as no great surprise for the Norfolk Pork Sausage flavour in particular).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nRidge Cut<\/td>\n | None of the Ridge Cut flavours are vegan at the time of writing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n That Kettle Foods Inc have created a flavour specifically for vegans is a good sign and we are hopeful they will create similarly vegan-friendly options in the future whilst also making more of their range suitable for vegans where possible.<\/p>\n KP Snacks \u2013 Which KP Crisps Are Vegan?<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n This famous old Slough-based snack company started life in 1853, making them one of the oldest crisp and snack brands around. As well as producing nuts galore, they also produce a shedload of crisps under the following brands: McCoy\u2019s, Hula Hoops, Tyrrells, Pombear, Popchips, Skips, Space Raiders, Nik Naks, Wheat Crunchies, Discos, Roysters, Frisps, and Brannigans\u2026 but which are vegan? Check out the table below. As with some other manufacturers, there is the chance of cross-contamination with milk and egg.<\/p>\n \n\n\nCrisp Name\/Flavour<\/th>\n | Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\nSkips<\/td>\n | Hurray! No prawns here, and Skips are vegan friendly (subject to the usual cross-contamination risks).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \nMcCoy\u2019s<\/td>\n | One of the oldest and best-loved ridge cut crisps, the following McCoy\u2019s flavours are vegan: Salted, Salt & Malt Vinegar, Paprika, <\/em>and Hot Mexican Chilli<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nHula Hoops<\/td>\n | Loved by kids (and adults) who can\u2019t resist putting a Hoop on each of their fingers before scoffing them, both the Original<\/em> and the Salt & Vinegar<\/em> flavours are vegan friendly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nTyrrells<\/td>\n | A high-end crisp brand that compares (and competes) with Kettle Chips, there are plenty of vegan-friendly Tyrells flavours including: Lightly Sea Salted, Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar, Sweet Chilli & Red Pepper, Sea Salt & Black Pepper, Posh Prawn Cocktail, Naked (no salt), Sea Salted Furrows, Sea Salt & Vinegar Furrows, Mixed Root Veg Crisps, Balsamic Vinegar & Sea Salt Veg Crisps,<\/em> and Lightly Sea Salted Sweet Potato Crisps<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nPom Bear<\/td>\n | A decent option for snack-eager kids, the Original flavour<\/em> is vegan friendly (though the Cheese & Onion flavour isn\u2019t).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSpace Raiders<\/td>\n | A throwback to the 1980s for many, the Pickled Onion Flavoured<\/em> Snacks are vegan (but the Beef are not\u2026 because of milk lactose rather than cow!).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNik Naks<\/td>\n | Good news, Nik Nak lovers: none of the three main flavours \u2013 Nice \u2018N\u2019 Spicy, Rib \u2018N\u2019 Saucy <\/em>or Scampi \u2018N\u2019 Lemon<\/em> \u2013 contain any animal-derived ingredients and so are fine for vegans.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nWheat Crunchies<\/td>\n | These cylindrical crisps certainly pack a crunch, with a fine amount of flavour too. The Crisp Bacon<\/em> and the Worcester Sauce<\/em> flavours are vegan but the Spicy Tomato and Cheddar & Onion flavours are not.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nGolden Wonder Vegan Crisps<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n It is fair to say that Golden Wonder, who started life in Edinburgh in 1947, are not quite the crisp maker they once were. Since their heyday they have sold off some of their most iconic crisps including Nik Naks and Wheat Crunchies (to then KP Snacks owner United Biscuits) and Wotsits (to Walkers).<\/p>\n They also sold their Pot Noodles brand to Unilever. Although they are not as significant as they once were in the crisp world, Golden Wonder still have a fair range of crisps that are available in various supermarkets. See which ones are vegan below.<\/p>\n \n\n\nCrisp Name\/Flavour<\/th>\n | Notes<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n | \n\nGolden Wonder Crisps<\/td>\n | Their standard crisps are comparable (if slightly inferior) to the standard Walkers crisps.<\/p>\n The following flavours are vegan: Salt & Vinegar, Sausage & Tomato, Ready Salted, Smoky Bacon, Tomato Ketchup, Spring Onion, Pickled Onion,<\/em> and Prawn Cocktail<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRough Cuts<\/td>\n | Basically a cheaper version of McCoy\u2019s, these are nice enough and the following flavours are vegan: Bang Bang Spicy Thai<\/em> and Rock Salt<\/em>.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGolden Lights<\/td>\n | Under 100 calories a pack, the Sea Salt flavour<\/em> option is vegan friendly.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nWhich Supermarket Own-Brand Crisps Are Vegan?<\/h2>\nSome time ago supermarkets came to the realisation that creating their own versions of well-loved food products could be a real money spinner. By creating similar (but often slightly less enticing) products, but charging a good deal less than the big name brands, supermarkets gave consumers the choice of prioritising brand or economic value. This is apparent across many different food product ranges, including crisps.<\/p>\n Here we\u2019ll provide details of all the vegan-friendly own-brand crisps offered by all the major UK supermarkets. Note that products change from time to time and it can be beneficial to check labels occasionally to ensure no non-vegan nasties have been added. Many of the supermarkets detailed are getting increasingly good at marking their products as vegan however.<\/p>\n Note that most of the supermarkets mentioned below also sell a good number of the crisp brands mentioned above (though the discount supermarkets such as Aldi and Lidl often have alternatives to the better known brands we\u2019ve featured).<\/p>\n | | | | | | | | | | | |
